This was taken on our last day of our honeymoon in Phuket, Thailand. Check out our posts about it here.

First week back from our honeymoon and we were excited for food from the farmer’s market! We got: arugula, turnips, a pie pumpkin, apples, pears, sweet potatoes, cheese & eggs from the Penn Quarter Farmer’s Market.

Don’t know what to eat for breakfast? Check out this post on making Fall Granola– perfect to mix with yogurt or milk!

Sam and I visited our friend Beth in Baltimore. We loved this place: Abbey Burger Bistro, make your own burger (and it’s got some good beers as well).

While in Baltimore we stopped by the Baltimore Farmer’s Market & Bazaar (check out the post about it here). Sam pickled the cucumbers, and we enjoyed the spicy cheese & duck eggs. But the honey butter is the best- have you had honey butter? If not, you’re missing out!

We have 2 cats who have really enjoyed getting wedding gifts. Well, mostly the boxes that the gifts come in- Van Gogh loves to relax among the bubble wrap and paper! One of the many gifts was a cookbook- and we tried this Shepherd’s Pie recipe!

As I mentioned, we had a low-key Thanksgiving. After running the So Others Might Eat Turkey Trot 5K– Sam, myself and his brother went to Hill Country Barbecue for an all-you-can-eat dinner. As always, Hill Country did not disappoint! Although my favorite was the green bean casserole- it’s been so long since I’ve had it!

Since moving to DC, I’ve often reserved several weekends throughout the year to visit my friend Beth in Baltimore (past posts: Baltimore & a Cherry-Chocolate Birthday Cake, June Review). On this last visit Sam came with, and thanks to Beth, we had a chance to explore the Baltimore Farmer’s Market & Bazaar! For any of you visiting Baltimore, this is definitely something you should check out on a Sunday morning!

The market was originally situated at Market Place, so more residents could have fresh produce in the city- but construction in 1983 forced a relocation to Pratt and President Streets. By 1985, it became so popular, and needed a shelter from rain, it’s location was moved once again under the Jones Falls Expressway at Holliday and Saratoga Streets.
